Live: Maritime drone ‘of type used in Ukraine’ explodes in Romanian Black Sea port

Article excerpt

A maritime drone of the type deployed in Ukraine's war self-detonated Friday morning at Romania's Constanta port on the Black Sea, according to the Romanian defense ministry. No casualties were reported in the incident at the civil port facility. The explosion raises fresh questions about the spread of naval weapons technology and potential spillover from the conflict into neighboring NATO territory. Romania, a NATO member bordering Ukraine, has become an increasingly tense zone as drones and other weaponry regularly drift across borders during the war.
